These are great. I taught all my boys to swim when they were 6 months old! We would push them under water towards the swimming pool steps and they would pop up smiling holding onto the edge of the pool. They went on to be on swim teams. :)Bea

Dear Elizabeth, I have only just caught up with the more recent posts on your stunning blog ( stupid to leave it so long, I know). I don't know where to start to leave comments, but these pictures resonate with me who is never happier than being under water! The lack of fear in this watery world should inspire everyone.
